World Food Day Japan Event 2022 - Webinar
World Food Day 2022 is being marked in a year with multiple global challenges including the ongoing pandemic, conflict, climate change, rising prices and international tensions. All of this is affecting global food security. This year’s theme is to ‘Leave no one behind. Better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life’. It’s time to work together and create a better, more sustainable future for all.
This year’s World Food Day event in Japan focuses on the global and domestic agrifood systems. Our globalized world is one where our economies, cultures, and populations are becoming increasingly interconnected. Some of us are vulnerable because of who we are or where we live, but the reality is that we are all fragile. When someone is left behind, a chain is broken. This impacts not only the life of that person, but also ours.
In the face of global crises, global solutions are needed more than ever. By aiming for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, we can transform agrifood systems and build forward better by implementing sustainable and holistic solutions that consider development in the long term, inclusive economic growth, and greater resilience.
This World Food Day Japan event is organized by FAO Liaison Office in Japan, with the patronage from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) and the cooperation with UN agencies based in Rome, World Food Program (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). In the first part of the event, the UN agencies will illustrate the state of the global food security and agrifood systems. In the second part of the event, Ms. Hiroko Kuniya, FAO National Goodwill Ambassador for Japan, will moderate a Panel Discussion, where several partners related to the agrifood systems will share their views on Japan’s food security and sustainable agrifood systems. Mr. Katsuhiro Nakamura, chef and also the FAO National Goodwill Ambassador for Japan, will deliver the closing remarks.
